Other Items you may need to control temperature and humidity can be found here.

CO2 MONITOR

Monitor & control the CO2, during any time of the day with a CO2 Controller and Sensor. When you increase CO2 concentrations in your grow room, you have to feed your plants more nutrients, light, and water.

LIGHT CONTROLLER

Schedule the correct start and ending time for all or each of your grow lights with a light controller. Find out which light
controller works best for your budget here.

CO2 TANK & REGULATOR

If you’re doing everything else right in your grow room but you aren’t adding CO2, you’re missing out on an easy way to boost your growth rate and yields.

DEHUMIDIFIER

Whether you are at your flowering stage or veg stage, the correct range of humidity must be set at the right humidity for
optimum results. Find out which humidifier works best for the size of your grow room here.

A/C CHILLER

Chillers run in a truly sealed environment. The air is recirculate indoor instead of introducing air from outside of your garden. This conserves CO2 and reduces the introduction of pests and pathogens into your grow room.

New To Growing

Think of this as the “ultimate” hydroponics guide for beginners because we’re not going to bog you down with too many details or confuse you with a ton of jargon … On this page you’ll just find the simple view of how it all works and how you can get started as quickly as possible growing your own hydroponic plants!

What is Hydroponics?

Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture and is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral solution only, or in an inert medium, such as perlite or gravel. The nutrients in hydroponics can be from fish waste, normal nutrients, or duck manure.

So basically, we’re looking to grow plants without actually having to plant them in the ground. That means we can grow them indoors if we choose!

What are the Benefits of Hydroponics?

There are many reasons why people want to get into hydro plant growing, but we’ll cover some of the most important and popular reasons here…Faster Growth! Plants grow faster with hydroponics because it’s a more efficient way to grow them. For example, most experts agree that plants will grow at least 20% faster with hydroponics vs soil. That’s a huge time saver!

Bigger Yields! Scientists have lots of theories as to why this is the case, but the fact of the matter is that experts also agree you can expect at least 20-25% more yields with hydro as compared to growing in soil. That truly adds up!

No soil! This can be a benefit because you may live in an area where there is no good soil to grow plants outside. Or perhaps you don’t have any outside area because you live in an urban area. With a hydro grow you can still grow plants, even if you don’t have soil!

Space Saving! Because your plants don’t need to spread their roots out into lots of soil to get the nutrients they need (because they’re surrounded by oxygenated nutrient-rich water solution)–you can pack more plants closer together. This saves a TON of space and one of the amazing features about indoor grows is how many plants can be put together and grown in a small space. Again, this is perfect for urban dwellers who want to grow a lot of plants with little space.

Water Saving! Because you are using reservoirs that are covered(to prevent evaporation) and no water seeps out of the bottom (because they’re sealed)–the plants take up the exact amount of water they need at any one time and the rest remains in the reservoir to be used later. Compare this to soil gardening where you have to water your plants daily and most of the water is wasted. It’s easy to see how the same amount of water used to water a plant in soil for a day can water a plant in a simple hydroponic system for multiple days or even a week at a time! In short, you can save about 90% of your water by switching to hydro growing.

No Weeds! One of the most tedious, time-consuming and frustrating activities for many gardeners is cleaning their gardens and pulling out weeds. With hydroponics growing there are no weeds to pull! Less Diseases & Pests! Because you’re not using soil, you also get rid of a lot of soil-borne diseases and pests that can normally wreak havoc on your plants and make gardening a pain.

BIG TIP: Start your plants from a clone

If you’re just getting started growing hydroponically, you want to make it easier on yourself. The best way to do that is to eliminate all the things that might go wrong. That’s why we recommend starting from a live plant instead of trying to use seeds for your first grow. This is called “cloning” and more tips on how to do this can be found here. To use herbs as an example, simply acquire an herb seedling and gently remove it from the soil and potting container it came in and wash away all the dirt from the roots of the plant. You don’t want to contaminate your water. Once you have rinsed the plant’s roots with water, then you can simply add it into your net pot in the lid of your bucket. If the seedling already has roots that you can pull through the net pot into the water, that’s even better and going to make your job easier. Then you simply cover the root system with your growing media and let the system do the rest of the work!

How to make sure your water does not kill your plants!

If possible, you want to use Reverse Osmosis (RO) water for your nutrient solution because if you don’t you could seriously harm your plants. After all, you’ve probably invested a small fortune in your lighting system, the proper nutrients, lamps, and all the other technology hydro growers use—so why skimp out when it comes to the most important ingredient of all?

The truth is that to get the most out of the specialized nutrients that you buy, you need great water which means great water filtration. Why? Because if there’s other “stuff” in your water—then it can totally knock off the “balanced” nutrients you’re supposed to be feeding your plants even if you’re using the manufacturer’s instructions exactly!

Use a PH Test Kit

You’ll need to buy a pH testing kit to test your water. And if your pH is off then you will need to add pH-Up or pH-Down to adjust your pH levels. Why is this so important? Because when the pH of your hydroponic system gets out of balance—which can happen quickly if some kind of stabilizing agent or mechanism is not put in place—the ability of your plants to absorb macro, secondary, and micronutrients, as well as vitamins, carbohydrates, and other beneficial sources, is limited. The truth is that dealing with pH issues can be a real hassle. That’s the bad news. The good news is that, if you use the right products, you can completely eliminate all your pH issues and you will never have to worry about this!
